The latest snow fall over night has caused additional downed trees resulting in power outages throughout the southern service territory. Crews are out working on restoring power to members who are still out. Thank you for your patience as we work to restore power ASAP.

At this time, all major outages have been restored. If you are still without power, please report outages to us 24/7 at 530-832-4261. View affected areas at psrec.coop.

Today, 12/2, PSREC has a planned outage occurring between approximately 2:00pm and 5:00pm to repair damaged transmission lines that needs to be completed before potential inclimate weather later this week. We apologize for the late notice and thank you for your understanding.

PSREC MEMBERS - BEWARE OF SCAMMERS Scammers are at it again. This scam involves a phone call to a member posing as PSREC. They ask if the member would like to receive a $50.00 gift card on the previous month's electric bill. This is not PSREC. Call 530-832-4261 with questions.
